Blown away by creativity

Monday, February 1st, 2010

During fashion week I also made it to the vernissage of Danish artist Helle Mardahl‘s exhibition at Circle Culture Gallery.

I LOVED her work! Art that I can understand and relate to. You can tell she has a background in fashion design and she uses those perspectives in her artistic expression.

What I found most impressive: all the peculiar little details and kind of playful, esthetic appeal. Do yourself a favour and go see the pieces in real life.

The exhibit is on until March 6.

Helle with her frolic hat that reminded me of something from the Roger Rabbit movie. I want one!

Just last week I started blogging for the Object Fashion blog as well. As you can tell form the name it’s mainly about fashion but I can basically write about what I want. So i posted the photos from my roommates label launch there. LINK

Object Collectors Item, a Danish fashion label is behind the blog. We are eight girls blogging from around the world: Amsterdam, N.Y, London, L.A etc. All quite different (style/taste/life-wise) which I find really cool. There’s something for everybody.

New blog design on it’s way. Follow me here and there.

Are we shaved?

Monday, February 1st, 2010

If you can’t make people talk about your collection, you can make them talk about your show. Like the strategy!

Use a couple of Body Builders instead of just regular models. Have a guy guy with a sack barrow drive them onto the catwalk. Let one carry a glass box with snails. Show a bit of skin. Spice it all up with tight techno.

It worked for Patrick Mohr when he presented his jeans collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week under the title “Are we shaved?”. Rumour has it he had some even freakier things in mind but Benz wouldn’t allow it.

Like a warm summer breeze

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Soft pastels and delicate fabrics, dreamy tunes and elegant models with gold, glittery lips opened Stine Goya‘s show at Bebelplatz on Saturday. A welcome getaway from the inhuman weather outside!

Like fall follows summer, autumnal colors and thicker textures accompanied the light design. The show was like a journey through seasons, where I would love to wear every piece of the collection.

A shining (g-) star

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Was quite impressed by G-STAR’s official show at BREAD & BUTTER. A great trumpet intro by Colin Benders from Kyteman followed by a dynamic choreography with somewhat 35 models.

Head of design, Pierre Morisset, appeared on stage for an applause and after 2 minutes of band set-up Kyteman gave a high power performance as a part of the afterparty.

Adidas threw the launch party of their Star Wars collection on Thursday in a super fine underground (literally ) location in Friedrichshain.

Kudos for the two jazz band performances (tracklist included the Star Wars sound track) which was a neat change from the endless electronic tunes during FW – even coming from me, who is an electronic music maniac.

My friend Ana the gamegirl told me to snatch a pair of Han Solo sneakers if I saw any in a size 37. Sorry baby, they were too big.

Also check out the PHOTOS from the launch of the ZX8000 Limited Edition at the NO74 store on Thursday.

1st round

Now down to 350 photos from Fashion Week and still sorting. Here are a few shots from the Bread & Butter opening party. LOVED the design: western meets 50es rockabilly meets German Beergarten. Perfectly close to being kitsch!

Remember there were some issues at last summer’s party at Columbiahalle (sound, staff etc) but they clearly had everything under control this time!

Fantastic costumes and in-between-show like a striptease and a woman doing tricks on a rope – is there a word for that?

Fine music by The Boss Hoss, camera case on my friend David who writes the DANDY DIARY blog and pretty ladies.

….more photos to come

Inside out

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

- is how I feel. Hardcore week! Final countdown with the Stine Goya Show later today and maybe a Fashion Week closing party. There are a few to choose from.

I NEED a proper rave (as soon as I catch up on my sleep). Enough fashion!! I dream of Panorama on a Sunday, lost in a mindblowing techno set, wearing worn-out jeans, flat shoes and an old t-shirt, drinking beer and vodka shots.

Looking forward to my Italian liebling Marco Carola At WEEK:END on 04.02 and Zip + Villalobos at Panorama on 05.02.

If you’re up for a ride on the fashion track tonight, here are a few possible destinations:
